Author's Notes:
Ahahaha And now here's the second Chapter of this long yet spontaneous story. Sure it's my first! But I just have this wierd habit of making my chapters so long .
Sometimes I don't know when to end. But I'm working on that! =]
Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Saiyuki or its characters and I probably never will. I only own the plot, Chisaki Miyazaki and the extra characters :)
Chapter II
"Hey!" I exclaimed to myself as I felt someone bump onto my back.
Whirling around to see who it was I was met with a rather innocent looking boy who looked back at me with deep and apologetic eyes.
"Oops, sorry lady." It seemed he wasn't so innocent after all.
But something else had caught my eye, the uniform that he was wearing I recognized it, tilting my head slightly to the side as I examined his clothing the boy didn't seem to mind as he looked off to one side and held onto the handle that hung from the roof of the train.
The button up white collared shirt that he wore was untucked from his long black pants and hanging from the cream white summer sweater vest. I noticed the white, silver, gold and dark grey tie was loose yet sloppily tied up around his neck and was hanging out of his vest.
"Hey, you go to Houtou high?" I asked quite bluntly to the boy who looked up at me with those innocent and wide chocolate brown eyes. Hmm, I couldn't deny the fact that the boy was quite handsome for his age. To me he looked like he could just about pass an 18 year old, but I pushed that thought out of my mind as I heard his rather childish voice answer me back.
"Yep. How did you know?" he asked blinking up at me. I suppressed a chuckle, he must be that kind of innocent, no shit did I know what school he went to; it was obvious with the uniform.
"What grade are you?" I asked trying not to sound as if I was some kind of Paedophile that tried to lure little boys into my apartment.
"I'm a senior," he answered as if he already knew I was no harm to him.
"Hm, you look a lot older than a senior though." I murmured mostly to myself but it seemed the boy had heard me.
"I hear that a lot," he said with a wide sheepish grin "actually this is the second time I'm repeating high school."
I stood in shock my mouth almost gaping open; no wonder this boy didn't seem that intelligent when I had asked him that simple question. But I tried not to show how shocked I was, but either this boy was that stupid or he really liked school.
"S-second time huh?" I repeated cringing slightly with nervousness, the boy nodded.
"My dad's the principal so it's not a big deal for me," he said.
I stopped. Wait; did he just say his dad? If he went to Houtou High that must mean…
"You're the principal's son?" I exclaimed in shock almost losing my balance on the train as I leaned in but it seemed gravity was against me as the train suddenly shook to a sudden stop causing me to instantly knock into the student in-front of me, luckily his face wasn't at my chest level and instead I felt his face bury on my neck and rest on my shoulder with a thump, I couldn't see but I could just tell that he was already blushing a full red.
"Sorr-!" he suddenly shuddered as I had cut off his apology with a cry across the train which was joined in with other cries.
"Hey! What's the big idea?" I couldn't resist it, that stop was totally unnecessary. Yeah it's true all of us in here are running late but the man didn't need to make it any difficult for us by being knocked around into a cramped vehicle with hundreds of other people to bump into. Without thinking hadn't realized my arm was protectively around the boy's head as there was another bump that followed and silenced our yells.
"For gods sake," I growled before the train had eventually came to a nice slow stop, glancing down I noticed a very noticeable colour of red come into my view followed by a mess of rather nice smelling brown locks. It took a moment for me to realize where my arm was before I had blinked in shock and struggled to keep off a sheepish smile from my face, the boy was clearly embarrassed not only boy how I was holding him but also on how close he had gotten to a woman he had only met for about 5 minutes. After the crowd had thinned enough for me and the student to get past I had decided to finally introduce myself just to make sure that he didn't think of me a dodgy lady that liked to dress up and lure young boys into my apartment.
"Sorry about that," I finally apologized walking down the train station with him.
"Heh, it's alright." He said looking down at the marble floor; I smiled slightly watching as he tried to hide the obvious blush on his face. Wow, I never knew contact from a woman could have such an impact on a man like him.
"I'm Goku by the way," he said eventually looking up at me with those adorable brown eyes that almost made me giggle.
"I'm Miyazaki Chisaki," I said with a slight bow of the head "And I believe I'm going to be your new music teacher."
His eyes flew wide open in surprise I bet right now he's thinking 'Whoa! This woman who I just happen to bump into this morning! The new music teacher!' or something along those lines anyway.
"You are?!" he asked as if he couldn't believe it though there was no surprise evident in his tone.
Nodding, my smile dropped into a more curious and puzzled one, why was he so taken a back?
"Is there something wrong with that?" I asked adjusting the trap of my shoulder bag.
He shook his head violently and blinked up at me again, his steps going a little faster than my own pace.
"Wow, not it's just that…" he stopped his sentence short all of a sudden.
I arched a brow curious yet also eager to find out what he was supposed to be saying at this moment.
"You're like… one of our only female teachers," he finally uttered causing my own steps to falter.
Repeating those words again in my head I blinked in astonishment and looked at Goku with huge eyes, the only female teacher? How come Sanzo never mentioned that!? I cannot believe him! Is he trying to land me into hell or something, he knows how I feel about being in a place that's practically filled with men! I struggled to keep in a light growl that threatened to escape my lips as I balled my hands into tight fists around the strap of my shoulder bag before giving the student a sharp look that almost made him freeze and cringe in terror.
"S-sorry," he apologized "I-I didn't mean to burst out like that all of a sudden…"
Noticing the rather terrified look in his eyes I decided to not take it out on the poor boy and instead let out a sigh of breath and loosen my grip on the strap of my bag.
"No I'm sorry Goku-san," I apologized feeling rather foolish for reacting like that. "Never mind, we're going to be late if we don't hurry up."
The boy blinked looking a little stunned by how I suddenly changed my mood towards him, I raised an arm and glanced at the wrist watch which now read; 6:53. Horrified I stood frozen.
"What is it now Miyazaki-sensei?" Goku asked glancing over at my still aghast expression.
"We're late!" Without thinking I had already clasped my hand around one of his wrists and ran down the clean shiny floors of the train station, my knee length lace up boots tapping against the floor quite loudly as I ran with Goku stumbling behind me. His useless cries failing to make me stop as I had only set my mind on one thing; I am so screwed.
Panting, me and Goku had finally came to a stop on the pathway along a long line of sakura trees, since it was summer the sunlight was shining as brightly as ever, making small patterns on the sidewalk as the light had seeped through the spaces of leaves, bushes, branches and petals.
"Ne, Miyazaki-sensei?" Goku stretched his arms out, a little worn from the sprinting all the way from the train station to the school.
"Hm?" I asked looking over at him as he folded his arms behind his head, the pair already entering the school that was filled with bustling students and such.
"When did you get the job?" he asked me.
I looked up at the sky shoving my hands into the pockets of my olive green army jacket, for some reason my thoughts had suddenly drifted back to the interview that had only happened yesterday, but when my mind had suddenly entered that very moment where I had peeked through the infirmary my head shot right back to my original eye level, a soft gasp catching in my breath. For a 21 year old virgin like me of course it was difficult to digest in that sight!
"You ok sensei?" Goku asked me his hands also shoved into the pockets of his pants.
I shook my head vigorously, "I'm fine," I said chuckling sheepishly.
My voice quavered a little; of course I was not fine. How can I be fine when I'm being stared at by more than two thousand eyes!
The students seemed a little taken aback and shocked as I tried to ignore those curious and suspiciously burning eyes. Keeping my own gaze down at the ground as I walked beside the younger boy, my shoulder bag securely strapped around a shoulder. Is this how a new teacher is supposed to be treated?
I felt myself fluster from the unwanted attention but I was suddenly pulled out my trance as my shoulder met a strong arm, whipping around to see what had bumped, so rudely might I add, the words seemed caught in my throat as I was met with a flash of a heart stopping handsome face and stronds of long crimson locks that made my mouth hang open.
"Oh, hello there little lady. Sorry didn't mean to bump you." He smiled sweetly with a matching wink.
Still, no words came from my mouth.
Oh. My. God.
It was him! That man I had seen in the infirmary! Stupid! Of course it's him, who else could have such shocking red locks and eyes. And with that suave tone of his I could just tell he was THAT kind of man. The Womanizer.
I was too shocked for words.
"Oi! Nympho, apologize to me while you're at it, huh?!" Goku scowled, outraged by the man who still stood before us.
He rolled his eyes as a response and raised a hand to ruffle through the mess of his honey brown locks.
"You're such a pain, saru." The red-haired man said slipping his free hand into the pocket of his black pants.
I noted the long white coat that was perched over his choulders in such a manner that practically screamed he was either the science teacher or a nurse. A nurse...?
I doubt that.
"Wah!" Goku wailed struggling to escape the hand that was still through his hair. "Quit it will you!"
A small twitch of a smirk said that he satisfied and finally lowered his arm back to his side and into a pocket. I saw his eyes turn towards me, I just stood there frozen on the spot my shoulders tensing up slightly and my eyes unconsciously blinking at him in slight cofusion. He smirked again, but this time it gave out a different message his eyes beginning to trace down my body in a slow pace before coming back up to meet my eyes again. I didn't know if I felt outraged or just plain confused.
Was he just checking me out?
"Er... Excuse me?" I finally uttered out softly as I instinctivly (sp?) took a small step back from his uncomfortable stare.
"Are you a new student?" He suddenly asked that damn smirk still plastered on his face as if he was plotting something.
A comical sweat drop rolled down my head as I furrowed my brows slightly at his straightforwardness.
"She's the new Music teacher, stupid." Goku corrected.
"Music teacher? Oh, so you're the one that stinkin' blondie hired." He said suddenly grinning ever minding the younger one calling him 'stupid'
"Er, yeah." I said another sweatdrop falling down my head. I watched that grin turn into a what his version of a welcoming smile was supposed to be.
"Oh, welcome to Houtou high miss..." His voice trailed off into a silent question which I picked up quickly.
"Chisaki Miyazaki," I said cautiously watching for any signs of perversion.
He held out a hand to me and took another step closer towards me.
"Right. I'm Sha Gojyo, but you can call me Gojyo." He winked again causing involuntary shivers to race down my spine as I stiffly accepted the hand.
"Gojyo... sensei." I nodded making my words slow and cautious yet it came out awkwardly as he let go of my hand.
"Hn." His grin turned into a slightly impressed looking smirk. "I'm the school nurse by the way."
I felt my expression fall into utter shock. No way.
That long white coat, the tied up red hair, that perverted glint in his eyes everytime he approaches a woman.
A school nurse?! That could not be true.
"Surprised?" His voice broke out immediately changing that shocked expression my face as i shook my head vigorously (sp?)
"N-no." I tried to utter out his smirk growing wider into a much more michevious (sp?) one, he was clearly pulling my leg.
"Well then Miyazaki-sensei," he said in that smooth tone of his as he leaned forward slightly. "i guess I'll see you at the staff meeting this morning."
Taking another cautious step back on reflex I felt myself fluster and nodded my head slowly.
"S-sure."
He grinned that wolfish grin once again and drew back turning to look at the oblivious looking student who darted his eyes back and forth to me then Gojyo.
"You better get to class, saru." he said to the boy immediately earning himself a deep glare as he heard the dreadful nickname.
I blinked at the two, was it just me or did these two seem a lot closer than an average teacher and student? I arched a brow but quickly shook the thought out of my mind, it didn't matter.
"Well, I gotta get to calss Miyazaki-sensei." Goku announced quite loudly, it took a little while to notice Gojyo-sensei had already left and had just vanished behind a corner at the end of the hallway.
"Oh, right. Sure Goku-san, I'll see you around." I nodded. "And thank you for taking me through the school." I added smiling sweetly at the boy who grinned back and began to jog forward.
"'kay I'll see 'ya around too Sensei!" he called out before running off down the hall.
I just stood there, watching that boy until he too vanished behind the opposite corner as Gojyo. It was then did a sigh escape my lips as I turned back to make my way to the staff room.
After having that strange moment with the school nurse I began to wonder if this school had any more surprises for me. But hey, I have to get used to it!
This job will probably finally earn me a nice adventure, not like those short boring ones that was not even strong enough to make any sort of impact on my life.
Another sigh escaped my lips as my steps slowed into a nice little lazy walk along the shiny loni floors of the school.
Besides, I had some business to attend to.
